I let stories percolate in my head for a while and write scenes as they come to me. Those scenes may never make it into the final revision, but they help me find the heart of the story. Once I decide on the heart of the story, the rest flows out reasonably easily. When I try to force scenes, they end up being scrapped because they suck.
